To all whom it may concern:

Be it known ernoM, a citizen of the United States, residing atBeresford, in the county ei' Union and State of South Dakota, haveinvented certain new and usetul improvements in Ventilating Ridge-Rollsfor Buildings; and l do hereby declare the following to be a ull, clear,and exact description ot the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to maire and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and.gures ot reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification. v

irlhis linvention relates to new and useful improvements in aVentilating ridge roll for buildings and consists of a simple and ecientdevice of this character having various ils of construction, combinationand arnent oit parts which will be herein- YSully described, shown inthe accompanying drawings and then specifically dened in the appendedclaim.

My invention is illustrated in the aecomdrawings which, with the lettersot iielierence marked thereon, torni a ot this application, and inwhich:

Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the application of my inventionto the ridge 'et a building, and

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view vertically through the same.

Reference now being had to the details ot the drawings by letter:

il designates a sheet of metal ot any suitf able hind, which is anged atB for attach nient to the root of a building. Said sheet et metal isbent at an angle at C and is bent "right angles, as at D, which isprovided ith ventilating pertorations E. The upper y Jportion of theinclined part is bent to form that l, JOSEPH H. Wrcnl ing,

fastened to the roof,

a roll F, thence upwardly and bent to forni a convexed top H forming aridge. Each side of the device is of similar construction forming twogutters l. A loosel mounted plate K having two inclined portions whichrest upon the ridge at the upper end of the outwardly inclined part D,and each edge ot the plate is angled as at d.

By the provision of a combination ridge roll and ventilator made inaccordance with my invention, it will be noted that the outwardly curvedportion over the pertorations will serve to prevent snow and rain 'fromeni tering the perforations, and through the rnedium of the angled sheetof metal K air will be deflected toward the perforations in the inclinedpart of the device, and thus affording a means portion of the buildingupon which the apparatus is installed.

What l claim to-be new-isi:

ln combination with the ridge of a builda sheet of metal bent to form ahousing coverin said ridge, and bent to formoppositely disposed guttersabove the ridge, portions of the sheet below said gutters being bent atright angles, and the opposite edges of the sheetv provided with flangeswhich are the upper part of said angled portion being provided withventilatingI apertures, a plate having its opposite edges angled andresting in said gutters, and its upper surface in lined in oppositedirections to a central line over the ridge and spaced apart therefrom.
